Tree & Shrub Removal

Tree removal is a significant part of arboriculture and one that Wharram Tree Service executes professionally and safely. Our goal is, and has always been, to provide services that keep trees healthy. However, there are instances when removal is the best alternative for the landscape and homeowner.

Tree removals are performed to eliminate weak trees that are prone to breakage as well as those that have become hazardous. Often, trees will outgrow their environment and need to be removed for practical reasons such as allowing for new construction and home additions.

Tree removal is the most hazardous aspect of arboriculture. Often, tree workers must remove trees growing in confined spaces near houses, utility lines and other sensitive areas. Tree removal requires considerable expertise to successfully perform this task.

At Wharram, our arborists are highly trained to work safely and efficiently in all tree removals. We provide thorough clean-up of debris and strive to minimize the impact to surrounding vegetation.

Tree & Shrub Maintenance

Wharram Tree Service follows current industry practices of arboriculture in the best interest of your tree's health and vigor, while achieving the desired results. With proper pruning, there is a reduced risk of decay, storm damage, insect infestation, disease and a substantial reduction in hazard liability.

Wharram Tree Service has trained, professional tree climbers and bucket truck operators experienced in the cutting and removal of selected limbs to improve shape, structure and to reduce hazards within the crown of the tree.

    • Dead wood, weaker and structurally poor limbs that pose a hazard or may lead to wood decay

    • Crisscrossing limbs that rub causing structural defects and failure

    • Limbs to provide clearance for utility wires, buildings, shingles, gutters, roofs, chimneys, windows and elevation for driveways, streets or sidewalks

    • Diseased or insect-infested limbs

    • Selected limbs to improve structure and reduce wind resistance and the potential for failure

    • Removal of limbs to improve structure and reduce wind resistance and the potential for failure

    • Selected branches to increase light penetration onto lawns gardens or to promote interior crown health and growth

    • Reduction of branches to increase light penetration onto lawns gardens or to promote interior crown health and growth

    • Selected limbs to improve views of lakes, hillsides, lawns or other required lines of site

    • Elimination of branches to improve views of lakes, hillsides, lawns or other required lines of site

Stump Removal

As part of the tree removal process, the stump will typically be left as close to the ground as possible. If needed, removal of the stump can be provided. Stump removal can be challenging and often special machinery is required. Stump grinding by a professional is the easiest and safest way to handle this work.

When it comes time to have a stump removed the best choice is to have one of our team members use a Stump Grinder. Stump removal will be labour intensive without it. Our grinders will dig 21" to ensure no wood material is left in the ground.

Wharram Tree Service offers safe and worry free stump removal. We manage all locates and permissions for underground utilities.

Other Services

    • Regular maintenance can ensure and promote healthy growth, improve the appearance and shape of your trees and prolong their life.

    • Specializing in large tree crane removals, we provide and operate a 22-tonne crane with a 125-ft reach for hoisting or rigging.

    • We chip brush on site when removing and trimming trees. The wood chips produced are good for mulching if requested. 

      Our portable chipper can chip wood up to 18" in diameter to handle even the largest of jobs.

    • The installation of cables and braces on trees reduces their stress and damage. Our goal is to help strengthen weak branches or limbs so they are better able to withstand severe weather and improve longevity. This is particularly important in older established neighbourhoods with heritage trees.

  • “We had quite a few tree's damaged and down after a recent snow storm. I called and within a couple days they were out to quote the job. The price was very reasonable. The crew that was here was great, very professional and friendly. They did a great job and I will be using them again for sure! The most important aspect to me was communication. They gave a timeline for the work, but ended up coming sooner due to a cancellation. Very happy with the outcome.”

  • “We used Wharram Tree Service twice at different properties. Both time the crews were efficient, professional and most of all safe. I’d refer anyone to use these guys.”

  • “Wharram Tree Service did a great job of cutting down and stumping our 75+ foot Black Ash tree, that had begun to show signs of emerald ash borer infestation. Their pricing was very reasonable, they had the job done in a timely but safe manner, they cleaned up the job site well and the workers were friendly.”
